Conservation Partners

Outdoor Channel has always understood the delicate balance between man, wildlife and the environment. We recognize that preserving the outdoors is the key to ensuring that future generations pass on our cherished outdoor heritage. And, we know that outdoorsmen and women have long served as primary environmental stewards. Moreover, Outdoor Channel promotes the spirit of conservation in all of our programs, emphasizing responsible hunting and fishing, along with habitat maintenance. That’s why we’ve partnered with like-minded conservation organizations and causes, including:

It's nearly impossible to say that any one hunter hunts just like another. Whether it's spot-and-stalk to all-day stand sits, or food sources to bedding area priority, rarely do we have a blueprint that hunters follow when it comes to their entire season.

When following various game warden websites, including our own recently established "Oklahoma Department of Wildlife - Game Wardens," one only needs to briefly scan and you're made aware of just how bad poaching problems can be.

Whether you hunt in the Northeast or Midwest, around this time of the year you will often hear hunters begin to talk about seeing the “second rut.” Scrapes open up, and like in early November, bucks can be seen dogging does.

There might not be any worse weather element I hate hunting in than wind. Whether it's because I can't hear anything else other than the wind, or because I've never had success when it's windy, the bottom line is when wind is in the forecast, I cringe. I almost feel defeated before the hunt even begins.

Unfortunately, it's a common part of a game warden's job to be liked by some and hated by others. Like most police officers, we're often appreciated when “needed” but detested whenever our duty inconveniences the wrong person.
